Fruit2.1 is at the same level of Fritz8 bilbao
Most customers probably do not have Fritz8 bilbao and Fruit2.1 is probably
slightly better than Fritz8.

Fruit2.2 is 50-100 elo better than Fruit2.1 so it make sense to think that
Fruit2.2 is 100 elo better than Fritz8

Fritz9 is near the level of Fruit2.2 based on CEGT results so I see nothing
wrong with the claim.

When I told in the israeli chess forum that Fruit2.2 is 50-100 elo better than
Fruit2.1 then one of the response was that not a lot of people will pay 35$ for
the minor improvement from Fruit2.1 to Fruit2.2
